The maintenance provider shall provide adequate, competent technical resource to service and support the installed systems to ensure that best performance from each BMS is maintained. It is also a requirement for the successful bidder to advise on the lifecycle planning of the systems and to provide a potential roadmap for replacing the current system which has technology that will be supported for up to another 6 years. There will be both a planned preventative maintenance element and a reactive, repair element to this contract. ABUHB is seeking a maintenance provider to provide both a planned preventative and a reactive maintenance service for its Building Management System (BMS). The provider must prove to be conversant with the products currently installed, employ competent technicians in order to carry out essential control system maintenance and have the ability to support the technical IT protocol and computer systems and various software utilised across the BMS installations. The systems installed are generally proprietary products that include Honeywell, Trend, Satchwell and Schneider manufactured systems, therefore bidders are required to be conversant with these systems. A Tridium Niagara 4.8 system is currently installed at the Grange University Hospital and bidders are expected to be conversant with that also, which is expected to come into contract from March 2022. The maintenance requirements of the BMS should ensure that the installed systems provide efficient plant control and monitoring. Consideration should be taken to prioritise the service provided at each location to ensure maximum uptime of each BMS (specific sites, areas and uptime are to be agreed with ABUHB under a tiered system).
